My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were of good size and clean, though not exactly at a 5-star level as claimed, and our sea view was partially obstructed by trees. The service was very attentive and went beyond expectations to cater to our needs. The location was lovely, facing the Gulf of Guinea on the northeastern shores, and provided convenient access to the city center. The dining was varied with tasty local fruits but lacked enthusiasm at times. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
